About the piece
Attributed to Theodoor van Thulden, this oil on panel bozzetto is a preparatory sketch for the temporary triumphal arch erected for the Joyous Entry of Cardinal-Infant Ferdinand into Antwerp. The work exemplifies the dynamic energy of the Flemish Baroque style, combining architectural precision with fluid, painterly depictions of allegorical figures and triumphant horses.
